Wai'a'mi't... Cthulhu is on the PILOTS' side, isn't he? He summoned 
the base back, putting stuff here and there where it would do minimal 
damage but generate a pulse of ultra-high-range radiation to kill off 
the floatie beasties, then fished them out of the rubble and is in 
the process of doing something to heal them up, not really noticing 
or caring that it would also kill of any human personnel present - 
Ritsuko probably survived, maybe the polits' guards depending on how 
robust their construction was, but anyone else in there is now army 
toast...

Well, that's my guess, anyway. Given that Shinji had his wierd 
dream-construction-contest, and the others got their funky weapons 
from a dream, and given who's the Lord of Dreams and all. Of course, 
that begs the question of what exactly he/it wants to get in return.
